About this study

Official title: Feasibility of Bronchial Washing Fluid for Molecular Testing With Next Generation Sequencing in Patients With Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

This is a single center, clinical trial evaluating the relevance of intratumoral washing for detection of generic alteration with Next Generation Sequencing.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, single-arm, open-label study to assess evaluate the relevance of intratumoral washing by ultrathin bronchoscopy (outer diameter; 3mm) for detection of genetic alterations using Next Generation Sequencing in patients with NSCLC.

Conditions

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Ultrathin bronchoscopy with intratumoral washingDiagnostic test

    Each subject suspected or diagnosed of lung cancer will undergo bronchoscopic procedure. First, ultrathin bronchoscope is inserted and placed within tumor under radial EBUS, virtual bronchoscopic navigation, and fluoroscopy guidance. Then, intratumoral washing is performed. Subsequently, transbronchial lung biopsy is performed under radial EBUS, virtual bronchoscopic navigation, and fluoroscopy guidance.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Comparison of the detection rate of druggable genetic alteration using Next Generation Sequencing in bronchial washing fluid, tissue, and plasma across the full patient set

    Detection rate of druggable genetic alteration is defined as the number of true positive druggable genetic alterations detected by Next Generation Sequencing, divided by the total number of attempts. Druggable mutations were defined the presence of following genetic alterations: 1) EGFR mutation, 2) KRAS G12C mutation, 3) ALK rearrangement, 4) ROS1 rearrangement, 5) BRAF V600E mutation, 6) NTRK1/2/3 gene fusion, 7) METex14 skipping mutation, 8) RET rearrangement and 9) ERBB2 (HER2) mutation. The full patient set included all enrolled subjects.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The concordance rate for the detection of druggable genetic mutations among bronchial washing fluid, plasma, and tissue samples using Next Generation Sequencing in the analysis intent group

    The concordance rate of druggable genetic alterations detected in bronchial washing fluid by Next Generation Sequencing is compared with that in plasma and tissue in the analysis intent group. Druggable mutations were defined the presence of following genetic alterations: 1) EGFR mutation, 2) KRAS G12C mutation, 3) ALK rearrangement, 4) ROS1 rearrangement, 5) BRAF V600E mutation, 6) NTRK1/2/3 gene fusion, 7) METex14 skipping mutation, 8) RET rearrangement and 9) ERBB2 (HER2) mutation. The analysis intent group consisted of the subset of subjects for whom Next Generation Sequencing testing was successfully performed with tissue samples.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Comparisons of the detection rates of representative co-occurring genetic alterations in bronchial washing, plasma, and tissue samples across the full patient set

    Detection rate of co-occuring genetic alteration is defined as the number of true positive co-occurring genetic alterations detected by Next Generation Sequencing, divided by the total number of attempts. Co-occurring genetic alterations were defined as the presence of following GAs: 1) ATM mutation, 2) CDKN2A mutation, 3) CTNNB1 mutation, 4) FGFR1 mutation, 5) KEAP1 mutation, 6) MDM2 amplification, 7) MET amplification, 8) MYC amplification, 9) PIK3CA mutation 10) RB1 mutation, 11) STK11 mutation and 12) TP53 mutation. The full patient set included all enrolled subjects.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. The incidence of adverse events associated with the bronchial washing procedure

    The frequency and severity of adverse events resulting from bronchial washing procedures

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ultrathin bronchoscopy with intratumoral washing in people with Lung Cancer, run by Pusan National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Aug 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of the detection rate of druggable genetic alteration using Next Generation Sequencing in bronchial washing fluid, tissue, and plasma across the full patient set (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Aug 2025.
